Logistics Syndicate UNCLASSIFIED CURRENT Objectives
Review and refine associated parts of Draft BA13 Exercise Directive Provide initial review and inputs for exercise support manning document Confirm participants and training objectives Determine logistics process in support of training objectives Determine level of play of logistics processes at tactical and operational level Identify and develop draft report formats Modified Objectives Review and validate 2nd MEB Logistics Chapter of the TACSOP Prepare theater logistics plan ISO PH 1 through PH III logistics operations Conduct sustainment Phase III operations Exercise all Log C2 systems from ship to ship but also from ship to logistics node (CLC2S, TCPT, GCCS-MC) Establish Log Command and Control (TACLOG) aboard PCS to direct logistical operations Conduct amphibious embark planning in coordination with ESG in order to support tactical level operations Review and Validate logistics reports Integrate LFSP Operations across the MEB TACLOGS and LFOCS Validate UDL in support of TPFDD (include FIE, AE, AFOE, prepo) UNCLASSIFIED

Log Syndicate ULNs need to be issued with appropriate JOPES planning guidance from higher (COCOM, JTF, CFMCC) in DEPORD to facilitate planning. Must include ESG assets, NECC, enablers, and MEB forces. Force list by unit type has to be solid before this can happen. Force list drives ALL LOG planning. CTF “Order” or portion of the Depord must address the following Theater assets available for use and process to request for sustainment and re-supply Theater logistics nodes by class of supply (i.e. are ammo and MREs both on amethyst) Med Log and Casualty routing for theater (level III to level IV) Upon receipt of WARNORD plan to request (RFF?) available MPF assets that are post ROS and still in MSC inventory for direct support to MEB/ESG. TAK-E tailored for mission MSC “black bottom” for AFOE Need theater defined; Realistic constraints of MPSRON availability, time distance to CONUS from BA-12 (8 hr fly, 10 day steam) drives answer to Southcom. Allows MSC and CLF to tailor realistic asset and theater support. UNCLASSIFIED

Log Syndicate Discussed the scenario design relative to orders process.. WARNORD to DEPORD to OPORD, along with associated FRAGOs and how we need some definition of roles, responsibility and authority laid out. Added a TPFDD PME to MEB requirements to talk JOPES, TPFDD, FIE, AFOE and who owes what. Suggest that OLW OPT get the same from MFCOM or USFFC planners. Medical brought up great point about shift in USMC/USN posture for MED BN going to 15 DOS vice 30 for Class VIII and how that 3rd party contract support will effect a MEB sized element. Within our window we can trigger re-order at D+5 to at least explore what that means.. Medical also wants to provide or be provided a caps/lims sheet for all ambulatory and casevac platforms for education. Across the board we need to educate folks on Log C2 systems.. GCCS MC inclusion and what it means to everyone? Do we wait for the MEU experiment to runs its course or do we lean into this one. A comparative brief on what changes from support now to GCCS-MC may help educate folks. UNCLASSIFIED

Due prior to OLW OPT#1, which stars 26 JUL. Exercise Force List Exercise Force List needs to be updated to reflect necessary and realistic CLF assets that would support the scenario warfighter force size being developed for each phase of the exercise. Additionally, AOR force size COCOM numbers need to be defined, which constrains RFF unless no limits are being implemented to show this real-world constraint. 50
